HORIZON is about the gaping divide between desire and reality. About wanting to leave. About thinking things are always better elsewhere. About looking for more. More space, more content, more adventure, more emotions, more romance, more meaning.
In HORIZON, we follow a group of people that are unsatisfied with the ‘here and now’. They decide to escape in a fantasy by creating alter egos, which they send out of the theatre, into the great wide world.
The alter egos end up in a road movie fuelled by adventure and a sense of freedom. Unexpected events and choices that crop up along the way are adjusted and solved live, so the dream trip stays intact. Unfortunately, mundane obstacles gradually make the trip more difficult and exhausting. The romantic goal of the quest is eventually obliterated by day-to-day reality, while the alter egos start to resemble their creators more and more.
Dutch company Kassys is well on its way to becoming a household name at Vooruit after performing five of its shows here (including Actor’s Cut, Liga and Good Cop Bad Cop). With their multimedia voyeur drama they analyse human interaction with the help of recognizable situations.
“A choreography of boredom that does not ever become tedious. Original, captivating, and most of all, hilarious. Kassys leaves us hungry for more.”
